In the past days, Niantic has actively been shutting down third-party trackers and services that tap on its servers to the dismay of millions of "Pokemon Go" players. Players aired out their disappointment over the difficulty of catching wild Pokemon without the aid of the third-party tools and merely relying on the in-game "Pokemon Go" tracker, which many described as unreliable and inaccurate. A new tool, called Skiplagged, may be the best alternative to the recently shut down PokeVision.
Skiplagged is a new "Pokemon Go" tracker that uses Google Maps to feature where various Pokemon are available in real time. The new "Pokemon Go" app is both reliable and accurate, providing a detailed map, indicating where specific types of Pokemon are located, and showing how much time is remaining before these disappear.
Skiplagged's spokesperson told Tech Insider that they created the "Pokemon Go" tracker because they grew up with Pokemon and are admittedly major fans of the anime franchise. They began Skiplagged with the goal of helping others experience the world and they believe that their tracker is an extension to that dynamic experience.
They are amazed at how "Pokemon Go" has grown to become a worldwide phenomenon with millions of players around the world going around their communities to search for the adorable little creatures. "Pokemon Go" has proven to be very effective in helping online gamers become more active, as well as encourage them to interact with others in their neighborhood.
The new "Pokemon Go" tracker is supposed to help people explore new areas that they have never been to before. It would be an opportunity for all gamers to get out of their homes and change their sedentary lifestyle. They can also find new places in their city that they never thought exist. Skiplagged includes a filtering system that features nearby Pokemon according to their rarity. Pokemon can be selected and deselected from being shown on the map as well. Automatic updates are provided on Skiplagged directly from "Pokemon Go" servers, so players do not need to keep refreshing the page.
It is still uncertain whether the new "Pokemon Go" tracker will be approved by Niantic. There is a huge chance that it will not be available soon, similar to PokeVision and other tools.
